For those of you who wanted to see the video, here it is:

Sorry if Discord is kinda OOC. (Out Of Character, just in case you didn't know.) Also, sorry about the video just being a link. This is from Fluttershy's POV.yay![]()
I was about to publish the first chapter and realized I only had 999 words.
Why her?
Discord and I were having one of our tea parties when I noticed how squirmy Discord looked.
"Is everything alright Discord?" I asked. He looked at me happily, although he didn't seem so cheerful.
"I have some...news." Discord said as he quickly drank his Tuesday tea. I gave him a puzzled look.
"What is it Discord?" I asked. Discord blushed slightly and continued.
"Well this is kind of embarrassing..." Discord stuttered. I tried to look calm, but I was so eager. I hoped that he was going to tell me something that I've always wanted him to say.
"Actually Discord, I have something to tell you too." I said and he looked up at me confused.
"Oh really?" He asked and I nodded my head happily. This was the perfect time to tell him. Discord got an amused look on his face.
"Do tell dearest Fluttershy." He said teasingly. Suddenly, something didn't feel right. I felt like there was something different he wanted to tell me.
"Oh, well you should go first. You wanted to tell me so badly." My attempt failed because he shook his head.
"There's something you're not telling me, come on. Or do you not trust me anymore?" Discord said and made a pouty face. My eyes widened at him, how could he even joke about that?
"Come on Discord, just tell me what you wanted to tell me. Then I Pinkie Pie Promise to tell you what I wanted to tell you." I said and he gave me a defeated look.
"All right. Well I proposed to Princess Sun Butt, and she said yes." He said excitedly. I felt my heart break. That wasn't what I was expecting at all, I thought he liked me. I knew I had to be supportive. Something just wasn't right here. He was acting excited, but he looked a little...sad, disappointed even. I put on a fake smile and tried to act happy.
"Oh, that's wonderful Discord. I had no idea that you liked Celestia." I said. His smile faltered for a moment, but then he quickly regained it.
"Yes, well she told me that she had always liked me. That's why she had you reform me. That and the whole Tirek incident." He said, and I felt a tear roll down my face. Now I understand why Celestia wanted this. She just did this for herself, well and the incident. I looked up and saw him looking at me worried.
"Are you alright?" He asked. That's when I realized that I was on the verge of crying and a few tears slithered down my cheeks. I stifled my tears, nodded and smiled.
"Oh, yes I'm fine." He frowned as I said this. He didn't buy my act for one minute. I tried to smile, but failed and ended up just staring at the ground.
"You said that you wanted to tell me something? What is it?" He asked gently. I hid behind my mane and tried to stop the tears from falling from my face. I had Pinkie Pie promised to tell him, he knew I wouldn't break it so quickly. Suddenly, I felt a paw under my chin. He lifted my face so that I was forced to look at him.
"I-It doesn't m-matter anymore." I mumbled, but he wasn't going to let it go that easily.
"Please tell me." He asked sincerely. That's why I loved him, he can be so caring. He actually cares about my feelings. He is especially kind to me. I always thought he was so nice to me because he liked me more than a friend, but I suppose I was wrong. I can't believe I even considered that he is over one thousand years old, and I'm not even immortal. Celestia is, and he loves her. So I needed to be supportive and make him happy. He'll never forgive me if I'm not.
"I'm fine." I said, but he was still staring me down. I needed to prove that I was fine.
"I just wanted to tell you that I have to go, to buy Angel some carrots. You know how picky he can be." I said, it wasn't a complete lie. Angel could be picky, and he did need some carrots for dinner.
"If you're sure." He said. He knew I was lying. I knew it, but he didn't want to force me to say anything.
"So, when is the wedding?" I asked and tried to act happy.
"Well, I went to Pinkie Pie to organize the party, and she said that she can have everything ready by next Tuesday." He said. I felt my heart break for what seemed like the third time that day. We always had our get together on Tuesdays.
"Oh, well is there anything I can do to help?" I asked. I had to make sure everything was perfect, even if it tore my heart into pieces. He just shook his head.
"Just being there will make everything perfect." He said and I blushed slightly. He was so sweet, I didn't deserve him. Princess Celestia would live a lot longer than I would, so would Discord. I could never be enough for him. Even if we weren't 'together', I would still be happy just to be his friend.
"Well, I must be going." Discord said and stood up. I was a little sad to see him go.
"Oh, ok. Bye Discord." I said.
Well, I still had to get those carrots. I just couldn't believe how sudden this was. It wasn't like Discord to just do these sorts of things. It just didn't make sense.
